Background: This study aimed to investigate the demographics and to evaluate long-term outcomes of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) in surgically treated patients ≤40 years in China.

Methods: This study included patients aged ≤40 with ATAAD who underwent surgical treatment at our institution between 2015 and 2019. The patients were categorized into groups according to heritable thoracic aortic disease (HTAD) presence or absence.

The contribution of sex hormones to cardiovascular disease, including arterial stiffness, is established; however, the role of sex chromosome interaction with sex hormones, particularly in women, is lagging. Arterial structural stiffness depends on the intrinsic properties and transmural wall geometry that comprise a network of cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins expressed in a sex-dependent manner. In this study, we used four-core genotype (FCG) mice to determine the relative contribution of sex hormones versus sex chromosomes or their interaction with arterial structural stiffness.

Blunt thoracic aortic injury treated with thoracic endovascular aortic repair in hybrid emergency room: A case report.

Trauma Case Rep

Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Hyogo Emergency Medical Center, 1-3-1 Wakinohamakaigandori, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo 651-0073, Japan.

Background: Hybrid emergency rooms (ERs) allow computed tomography (CT) scanning, interventional radiology, and surgery all in the same suite. Severe trauma patients with blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI) require rapid diagnosis and treatment. Hybrid ERs allow the potential for clinicians to implement multiple therapeutic procedures, including thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), for these types of conditions without the need to transport the patients.

Background: We report a rare case of locally advanced esophageal cancer with a right aortic arch (RAA), successfully treated with neoadjuvant immunotherapy and minimally invasive esophagectomy, guided by three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction.

Case Presentation: A 50-year-old male with stage III esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (cT3N0M0) and RAA underwent four cycles of neoadjuvant immunotherapy with sintilimab, resulting in significant tumor regression. Minimally invasive esophagectomy was performed with the aid of preoperative 3D reconstruction, which was critical in navigating the complex vascular anatomy and ensuring surgical precision.

Objective: Aortic valve repair/sparing have been established as effective treatments for aortic regurgitation and/or aortic aneurysms. However, concerns remain regarding long-term durability, reproducibility, and patient selection. This study aims to asses long-term clinical and echocardiographic outcomes, with a focus on aortic regurgitation grade and left ventricular ejection fraction evolution, in adults undergoing these procedures.
